Cancer Statistics 2009

That last slide really affirms my support of the American Cancer Society and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. My mother passed away in 2007 after 2 years with pancreatic cancer and the pancreatic cancer figures are just bad. 5% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will not live 5 years past diagnosis. I am participating in my first Relay for Life in 2 weeks. Good luck with all you do ACS!

how does the incidence of cancer correspond to the fluoridization of our water supplies?

[AmerCancerSociety]

The overall consensus among reviews, based on the studies done to date, is that there is no strong evidence of a link between water fluoridation and cancer. However, several reviews note that further research, including better-designed studies, is needed to address this topic.

For more information view the page titled "Water Fluoridation and Cancer Risk" on our Web site.

I'm just looking for a correlation study on the rise of water fluoridation and the rise of cancer?

I'm not alledging a link, but a possible link, since fluoride is and was used as a rat poison. Also, do these studies show what the cumulative effects of ingesting fluoride are?

~What is the Society's view on Dr. Mullenix's study?

I appreciate the concerted reply.
